I was surprised to hear of Ricky's passing- he was one of my longest-standing regular customers at my previous job, at a gas station. He was never a stranger and always had a cheerful disposition, even after I left that job.
Sending love, light, and healing energy to his friends and family. ❤️🙏

Sending all of my Arkansas family and his friends love and prayers as they adjust to life without Ricky. I will treasure the childhood memories of you. You were a great cousin and as we reconnected in adulthood; I could tell you were a caring man. You have always had that slow and steady attitude like your Dad and I will miss your encouragement. Rest in peace, cousin.
